[Rock] Easy Band-Style Vocaloid Songs for Beginners [Simple] (1–10)
Planet LoopNEW!Nayutan Alien
Its trademark is a simple yet ear-catching intro phrase.
The guitar lines are easy but catchy—an arrangement beginners will appreciate.
The bass mostly sticks to root notes, but be careful to mute cleanly during the accent hits, or the track will lose its tight feel.
The drums use a basic pattern of four-on-the-floor kick with offbeat hi-hats, but since the tempo is fast, it’s best to start practicing slowly.
The original vocal key is quite high, so if it’s tough, try lowering it by an octave or make other adjustments and give it a go.
Donut holeNEW!Bee
A track Kenshi Yonezu released during his Vocaloid producer days.
None of the parts are particularly difficult on their own, but the quick tempo makes it easy for a band to fall out of sync, so be careful.
A completely beginner band will need some time to finish it, but by the time you can play it together, you’ll definitely have moved beyond the beginner stage.
You can simplify the tough sections with an arrangement, but steadily practicing to improve is also recommended.
Try choosing the approach that fits your band’s vibe and keep working at it.
clear skiesNEW!Orangestar
Orangestar’s “Kaisei” gently expands with scenes of summer mornings and slipping through back alleys.
It portrays someone trying to move forward while carrying the pain of parting, and IA’s transparent vocals convey those feelings directly.
The soaring high notes evoke a clear, cloudless sky, while the more conversational phrases conjure up a fresh yet bittersweet moment of youth.
In terms of performance, it’s approachable for beginner bands: the guitar work shines with cutting and power chords, paired with a four-on-the-floor bass line.
The drums also make it easy to lock into the rhythmic core, and the more you synchronize with the breezily unfolding guitar solo, the more you can feel the song’s sense of breadth.
Me vs the WorldNEW!Omoi
This is a Vocaloid number with a refreshing arrangement that’s fun to play both in studio practice and live.
The guitar has no difficult phrases or solos, making it accessible for beginner guitarists.
The bass mainly plays root notes, but be careful not to lose the rhythm with syncopation and other figures.
The drums feature rapidly changing beats, and the tempo gets quite fast in the latter half, so you’ll need practice to tighten up as a band.
Since the difficulty varies by part, adjust your practice methods to match your band members’ skill levels.
Calc.NEW!JimmySam-P
A Vocaloid song with a catchy intro that we’d love you to try as a twin-guitar arrangement.
The guitar parts are generally easy, but watch out for the tapping phrases that appear in the solo.
The bass mostly sticks to root notes, but a slightly tricky phrase comes in before the chorus, so practice to keep the tempo steady.
The drums feature lots of tight fills, so stay mindful to keep the rhythm from slipping.
For sections that feel too difficult, simplify them at first and gradually move closer to the original as you improve.
LeicaNEW!yamada
With edgy guitar tones and striking synths, this is a song that’s fun to play as a band.
There aren’t any difficult lines for guitar or bass, and the tempo isn’t fast, so it’s easy for beginners to start practicing.
The drum parts aren’t hard either, but be careful to maintain a sense of drive—if you lose it, the ensemble can fall apart.
Including the vocals, every part is relatively simple without big differences in difficulty, making this a perfect track for beginner bands who want to try performing a Vocaloid number.
negativeNEW!YM
A Vocaloid track whose subtly unsettling chord progression creates the song’s atmosphere.
The guitar generates the beat with muting and brushing, so pay attention to that.
The bass features slap lines and high-position phrases, making it great practice for beginner bassists.
The drums involve intricate hi-hat work and frequent beat changes, so learn the whole structure first before practicing.
The vocals are challenging in both melody and breathing timing, so if your band is determined to take it on, approach it with plenty of resolve.
